Answer 1

Option C:

h(x) = 0.08x

Solution:

Given data:

Sales tax is a function of the price of an item.

Let h be the function.

Take x be the price of an item.

Amount of sales tax = 0.08 times price of the item

= 0.08 × x

Amount of sales tax = 0.08x

⇒ h(x) = 0.08x

Hence the function is h(x) = 0.08x.

Option C is the correct answer.
